Kushima City ※This pamphlet has been updated from the previous version published in 2012. When a disaster happens, the first thing you should do is PROTECT YOURSELF. Miyazaki Prefecture, and Japan as a whole, is well-known for its beautiful natural scenery. However, it is also prone to frequent natural disasters. In response to the increased number of natural disasters occurring in recent years, a number of strategies to cope with and prepare for a natural disaster have been put in place. The most important thing when thinking about what to do if a disaster strikes is “self-preservation” – everyone should take care to protect themselves first in the event of a disaster. In this pamphlet, we will give you some information on how to prepare for natural disasters. ※ The information written in this pamphlet is considered to be the bare minimum of information necessary to educate people about natural disasters. It is very important for everyone to seriously consider what kind of natural disasters may occur in their surrounding area and take every action possible to lessen the potential damage in such an event. Issued by Miyazaki International Foundation Carino Miyazaki B1,4-8-1 Tachibanadori Higashi, Miyazaki City Tel:0985-32-8457 Fax:0985-32-8512 1 If a serious natural disaster occurs, there is a danger that major lifelines such as communications, electricity, gas and water supplies may be cut off.

Make sure to come up with a disaster preparedness checklist that perfectly suits your home! ※It is recommended that people gather a week’s worth of supplies to prepare for a possible large earthquake that could potentially occur in the Nankai Trough. 2 Make sure to prepare in advance to ensure your safety in the event of a large earthquake – it’s important to make sure your Be Prepared② home is safe and that you can evacuate quickly. ●Furniture Can Collapse, Fall over and Move Around – and it’s Surprisingly Dangerous! In the event of a serious earthquake, items of furniture around the house can fall over, glass from windows and cabinets can break and get scattered over the floor, books and items can fall off of shelves, and smaller items like TVs and microwaves can be thrown around the room! Secure your furniture to prevent it falling over or moving around! (These items can be purchased at DIY stores.) ● In order to evacuate quickly: 1 Make sure to confirm the location of your nearest emergency shelter, and how to get there. In order to be able to evacuate quickly and smoothly in the event of a disaster, check local and hazard maps and work out the location of your nearest emergency shelter. Ensure that everyone in your family knows where it is and the safest route to get there – try actually walking the route, too. * A disaster could happen at any time, so your family might not be all together if it does. Make sure you also know what to do if an earthquake happens while you are at work or school. 2 Be sure to stay up to date and get the latest information from the TV, Radio and Internet! ● Information available on TV, on the radio and online: ・「Safety Tips」 – the Japanese Government’s (free) official disaster preparedness app for people from overseas http://www.rcsc.co.jp/safety ・「NHK WORLD」 https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/ja/ ・CLAIR http://www.clair.or.jp/j/clair/index.html Multilingual Living Guide app ・Japan Metrological Agency http://www.jma.go.jp/jma/index.html ●Disaster Preparedness and Crime Prevention Information Email Service offered by the Miyazaki Prefectural Government (Free of charge, Japanese only) https://www.pref.miyazaki.lg.jp/kiki-kikikanri/kurashi/bosai/ manual.html 3 An evacuation shelter ( 避難所 -hinanjo) is a place where people can live temporarily if their home is destroyed, or if it is dangerous for them to be at Evacuation Shelters home during a disaster.

Was your inten- tion to depict a family from a different angle compared to your previous films? The first thing that came to my mind was the tagline: “Only the crimes tied us together”. In Japan, crimes like pension frauds and parents making their children The later scenes showing the family being split up are heartbreaking.

  • Tsunami Source Consideration of the 1662 Hyuga-Nada Earthquake Occurred Off Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan

Tsunami source consideration of the 1662 Hyuga-nada earthquake occurred off Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan Kei Ioki1, Yusuke Yamashita2, and Yoshihiro Kase3 1Geological Survey of Japan, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, Japan ([email protected]) 2Miyazaki Observatory, Disaster Prevention Research Institute, Kyoto University, Japan ([email protected]) 3Geological Survey of Hokkaido, Hokkaido Research Organization, Japan ([email protected]) Hyuga-nada region is located at the south-western part of Nankai Trough, in the Pacific Ocean. M7-class interplate earthquakes are repeatedly occurred by the subducting Philippine Sea plate beneath the Eurasian plate. The largest earthquake in this area was the 1662 Hyuga-nada earthquake (M=7.6) which occurred off Miyazaki Prefecture, south-eastern area of Kyushu region, Japan, and generated tsunami (after called the 1662 tsunami). Strong ground motion hit and many structures were broken near the coast of Miyazaki Prefecture. The tsunami heights were estimated at least 4-5 m along the coast of Miyazaki city, and more than 200 people died by the earthquake and tsunami by historical records. This region is also active area of the shallow slow earthquakes. The 1662 tsunami was much larger than tsunamis generated by usual M7-class interplate earthquakes. It is known by the 2011 Tohoku earthquake that focal area of shallow slow earthquakes also become a tsunami source area. So, we hypothesized that the 1662 unusual large tsunami was caused by the coseismically slipping of focal area of shallow slow earthquakes.

  • Under the Open Sky
    Under the Open Sky (Original title: Subarashiki Sekai) Length: 126min. / Release in Japan: Feb 11, 2021 SYNOPSIS Mikami, an ex-yakuza of middle age with most of his life in prison, gets released after serving 13 years of sentence for murder. Hoping to find his long lost mother, from whom he was separated as a child, he applies for a TV show and meets a young TV director Tsunoda. Meanwhile, he struggles to get a proper job and fit into society. His impulsive, adamant nature and ingrained beliefs cause friction in his relationship with Tsunoda and those who want to help him. INTERVIEW with Director NISHIKAWA Miwa --How were you inspired by the novel that this film is based on? Mr. Ryuzo Saki’s novel, Mibuncho (tr. “Inmate Files”), is written like a documentary about an actual murderer’s life after his release from prison. I encountered this novel around 30 years after its publication and was surprised at how rigorous the adventure is for someone to go back to a “normal life” once they step off the path. The social system has changed in the past 30 years, but people’s thoughts and attitude toward ex-convicts have not to the same degree. Do we live in a society that gives us a second chance at life? I feel that everybody in Japan harbors an unspoken anxiety and suffocation by an unforgiving world. --You conducted exhaustive research and took four years to write the screenplay. It’s my first time making a film based on a story written by another author and also about a real person, which is a huge responsibility as the director.
